Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Chickpeas
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (about 15 oz)
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 zucchini, chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Tahini Dressing
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Water, to thin the dressing
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for roasting the vegetables and chickpeas.
- Toss ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, chopped bell pepper, zucchini, and sliced carrots. Add olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the vegetables and chickpeas are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the tossed chickpeas and vegetables evenly on a baking sheet to ensure they roast properly.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are golden and tender, stirring once halfway through for even cooking.
- Prepare tahini dressing: While the vegetables roast, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and a splash of water in a small bowl until the dressing is smooth and creamy. Add more water as needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Cool and serve: Remove the roasted vegetables and chickpeas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them in bowls and drizzle generously with the tahini dressing.
